Portable cushion and method of use
View Patent ↗A seating system for a chair in the form of a deflatable cushion. The two-inch-thick cushion, divided into nine rectangular sections, will have an open-end casing comprised of viscoelastic foam. The air compressor, connected to the battery power source, shoots pressurized gas into a check valve and then into branched rubber tubings. The sequence of deflation is as follows: pressurized gas passes through the air compressor's plastic compartment, which encases antibacterial liquid that the gas can pass through before entering the check valve. Having exited the air compressor and entered the check valve, the valve will regulate the flow of air to the cushion based on synchronization with the compressor and electronic feedback from the application or manual control. Having entered the check valve, the pressurized, sanitary gas enters the rubber tubings and the porous rubber tubes' eight subsections. This will cause deflation of the cushion. In addition, a heat sensor will be on the top-layer of the cushion and it can be linked to a computer for the user to monitor which areas of contact are too high in heat.

9. The inflatable cushion of claim 8 further comprising;
said inflatable cushion is attached to the seating portion of a wheel chair.
10. A method for inflating a cushion comprising the steps of;
providing an inflatable cushion with
an upper cushion portion;
said cushion further comprising side walls, a sectioned perforated top surface; and
a hollow interior;
a middle cushion portion;
said middle portion further comprising middle side walls, a middle perforated top surface and a hollowed interior divided in sections with interior middle dividers;
a bottom board;
said bottom board further comprising a solid base and three fluid flow tubes;
wherein each individual fluid flow tube is in mechanical communication with three air containment modules; wherein
said upper cushion forms a covering over said middle cushion; and
said middle cushion forms a covering over said bottom board wherein each of said air containment modules is housed individually into a section, created by said interior middle dividers;
